Democrats criticize Gov Haley for state plane use

The Senate voted 26-14 on Thursday to insert their sale in the chamber's 2013-14 budget plan. A previous amendment called for a study to determine whether it would be cheaper to use charter or commercial flights.

But Sen. Darrell Jackson argued for skipping the study.

The vote came after Democrats accused Gov. Nikki Haley of misusing the state's planes by taking her campaign-paid videographer with her on flights. Zach Pippin accompanied Haley over 17 days in the last year.
